Northern Dynasties

Chapter 270 Zhao Gui is heroic
As Li Bi brought back to Huazhou the guard of honor bestowed by the Taifu and made by Kai Cao, Huazhou City, which was already a little bit chaotic, suddenly became more noisy as if a handful of dry firewood had been added to the bottom of the stove.

Before, it was just a decree from the Taiwan government, without any specific objects as a reference. The people who received the award were already looking forward to it. Now, seeing such a team of honor guards with bright armor and as mighty and domineering as the Dharma Guardian King Kong, who can bear it? ?

For a while, Kai Cao, who was in charge of handling this matter, suddenly became the focus of current attention. The official hall in the military city in the outskirts was overcrowded every day. Stay here at night, eat, drink, and scatter, and don't dare to leave for a moment.

Since the beginning of this year, it is not the first time that Kaicao has been besieged by the masses, but the situation before and after is completely different.The visiting crowd beat and scolded Kaicao's subordinates at every turn before, but this time, although there were also a lot of visitors, they did not dare to be as presumptuous as before, and even Kaicao's official office was not greatly affected.

Fortunately, these people didn't wait too long. Just a few days after Li Bi received the cultural relics of honor, Li Tai, whom no one could find, finally appeared on the suburban road, but he did not return to the city. Go straight to Li Bi's camp in the east of the city.

When the anxious crowd arrived upon hearing the news, Li Taigong's entourage had already left Li Bi's camp, with several large carts in the team, and stacked armors and other things were piled up on the carts. high.

Everyone didn't care about what Li Tai was escorting, those soldiers from the Haonu family surrounded Li Tai and his followers, and asked repeatedly: "Excuse me, Li Dadu, what was given to my lord in front of Daxingtai?" When can we pay for cultural relics, etc.?"

Thanks to the layers of guards from his entourage, Li Tai was not shocked by these swarming slaves, but when he looked around, there were crowds of people in his field of vision, and he couldn't help feeling that the momentum was a bit too much.

It was not until Li Bi dispatched a team of armored soldiers in the camp at the rear that these enthusiastic and somewhat crazy crowd were slightly pushed back, allowing Li Tai and his party to continue on their way back to the administrative office in Bingcheng.

Those slaves followed all the way steadfastly, even if they were blocked by the guards outside the city, they still lingered outside the city and refused to leave.

It's not because this ceremonial guard really has a charm that people can't extricate themselves from, it's just that when the atmosphere is created, the significance does not lie in the artifact itself.The ancients killed three scholars with two peaches, and those peaches were not flat peaches bestowed by the Queen Mother.

After finally returning to the official office, Li Tai ordered his staff to arrange and display the armor sticks obtained from Li Bi inside and outside the straight hall of the official office, and then ordered to meet the respective officials of the generals who received the reward.

After seeing these people, it is natural that a set of rhetoric has already been prepared, and the delivery of the gift is certain, it is only a matter of time.Kaicao's personnel are simple now, and it is difficult to take care of everything when doing things.

If Li Taiwei Gao Yi hadn't donated a batch of Armor Armor ordnance, so that Kaicao's labor force could be spared to catch up with the work, otherwise the batch of Yijia cultural relics delivered before would not be able to be made!

It's not that you are required to be as high-minded as Li Taiwei. Regardless of whether you donate equipment or not, since the Taiwan government has issued a gift order, Kai Cao will definitely deliver the gift.

But there must be an order of things. There are only so many materials for Kaicao and limited production capacity. Everyone should wait honestly according to the official rank.As long as you live long enough, there is no reason why you can't get it. Don't doubt the sincerity of the Tyrant Mansion. Look at the old man who killed Gao Aocao, isn't he still receiving gifts every year?
After finishing what he had to say, Li Tai didn't care about how these people reacted, and even ordered his subordinates to send these people out of the house, so as not to disturb Kaicao's work anymore.

After these people brought back Li Tai's meaning, the owners of each family had different feelings and reactions.Of course, they also understood that this matter could not be handled by Li Tai alone, and there must be Daxingtai's instruction or approval behind it.

While many people were still hesitant to make a decision, generals Yu Jin, Sikong Shuohui, etc. also donated a part of armor materials to the Taiwan government, claiming that it was naturally a gift for the armored figures, so as to ensure that the parade of ceremonies would not be missed. thing.

In order not to show a too utilitarian business atmosphere, Li Tai did not play any money and goods with these people, but posted a notice outside Kai Cao's official office, saying that with the support of these ministers, Kai Cao The shortage of materials has been greatly alleviated, and a new batch of Yijia cultural relics will be delivered in the middle of the month, but the exact number of deliveries is still undecided.

As soon as this announcement was issued, the pressure was immediately placed on some high-ranking generals, because according to the delivery rules, these people would definitely be the first to receive gifts.And in the case of Kaicao's limited materials, they will definitely squeeze out the share of the people behind.

In this way, if Kaicao still can't pay the full amount of gifts when it comes to the big reading, the reason is not that Kaicao neglected his duties, but that the people in front refused to donate sympathy.

Not long after this notice was posted, another heavyweight made a donation to Kai Cao, and personally escorted the equipment and materials to the Bingcheng official office.

When Li Tai learned that Zhao Gui led the team to the gate of the official office, he was very surprised, but no matter what the relationship between the two is, since the other party came in person, it can be regarded as a compliment to him, so he must greet him.

When Li Tai came out of the official office, Zhao Guicai, who had reined in his horse and stood on the street, got off his horse and stood there waiting for Li Tai to come in and make a bow. Then he showed a smile on his face, pointed at Li Tai and said kindly: "Li Tai has several It is admirable to say that I have worked so hard, and that I am in charge of armored cao, and I am doing all kinds of things. There are also a few members of my family who enjoy the grace of the country, but compared with Li Zong, they are really thieves who steal their salary.

But how can we maintain the national economy and the important affairs of the Taiwan government alone? Although I am advanced in my work, it is inconvenient to take away your case. I know that you have been working very hard recently, and there are armors and other things in the rear car. Please help me. check and accept. "

Seeing Zhao Gui's kind attitude, Li Tai didn't know what to say for a while. He looked at this guy for a while to make sure he wasn't having a convulsion. .

However, when the Kaicao people stepped forward, the Zhao Gui tribe who guarded the chariots did not retreat, but stared straight at their lord.

"Mr. Zhongshan, this is..."

Seeing this scene, Li Tai frowned slightly, secretly thinking that the old boy came to find fault?

During the recent period, there have been many spectators gathered outside Kaicao's official office. Most of them were servants from various Shiliu families who were here to watch and inquire about the news.

Zhao Gui met Li Tai's gaze, stepped forward unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Although these utensils are not precious, since they are donated, I always hope to hear back.

The former is Yu Dajun, Li Taiwei, etc., and I am here today too. I don’t hesitate to spend a lot of money and donate money to help Li engage in his own affairs. Finish within this month? "

"Yeah, I saw that Kai Cao received the goods, but he didn't give them out. Will it be delivered within a month?"

"Zhongshan Gong Gaoyi, Commander Li Dadu, please answer truthfully!"

Hearing Zhao Gui's question, many people present echoed their voices, hoping to hear a definite answer, and thanked Zhao Gui for asking their thoughts.

Zhao Gui stood there, with a graceful and kind smile on his face, waved slightly to the crowd in response, then turned his eyes and smiled and said: "If there is still a huge gap in labor and materials, only Li Zong can handle it comprehensively, and you don't have to." If you try to be brave, you can tell us. Among the young people in the Taiwan government, you are not bad, and you will not damage your reputation just because you fail in one thing. It's really a big crime!"

Damn it, this time it was really pretended by him!
Li Tai looked at Zhao Gui's smug face, and became very upset. This guy forced himself to be associated with Yu Jin and Li Bi, and the meaning was self-evident, but at the door of Kai Cao's official office It was a little unacceptable for him to use him for entertainment.

Because of Yu Wentai's previous instructions, Li Tai didn't intend to use this incident to blackmail Zhao Gui severely, but he couldn't prevent this guy from forcibly intervening to brush his face.Since the tone is so loud, then why is Li Tai so polite.

He bowed to Zhao Guishen first, and then said with a face of shame and gratitude: "Since Zhongshan asked, I dare not hide it. The gap in armor and materials is indeed not small. After all, there has been a shortage of supplies since the beginning of the year. We share armor with humble positions." It is true that Cao Zhongshan is difficult to be considerate, but with the generous help of Zhongshan Gong, the people must be able to get what they want. Please Zhongshan Gong sit in the straight hall and let the humble officials report the troubles in detail."

Hearing this, Zhao Gui's cheeks trembled, but he didn't say much. He walked into the official office under Li Tai's respectful welcome, and the crowd behind him continued to applaud.

After a while, Zhao Guicai came out again, his expression was a bit ugly, but when he saw the expectant eyes of everyone on the street, he still squeezed out a smile and waved his hands: "Report to the master, the security of the manor Waiting for the gift to be delivered, please read it together!"

When everyone heard this, they applauded even more, some rushed home to report the news, while others followed Zhao Gui's team all the way to applaud and applaud.

When Zhao Gui was descending out of the city surrounded by the masses, several slaves from the left of the road approached and said: "My Lord is hosting a banquet in the east of the city, and I kindly invite the Duke of Zhongshan to come to your house as a guest."

Zhao Gui was naturally too lazy to respond to such a hidden invitation, but when he saw the talisman handed over by the slave, he pondered for a while before nodding: "Lead the way ahead."

A group of people rode horses in the eastern outskirts of the city, and soon came to a manor built between hillsides and valleys. There were several people standing in front of the manor, and the leader was Yu Chigang.
